Here and there in the New Hebrides. Top, Vila's small wharf (there's no room for cruise ships— they have to stand off the wharf while passengers are ferried ashore); top right, the moon-like, ash and lava-covered slopes to Tanna's Mount Patton (1,600 ft); above, the British Ex-Servicemen's Club, Vila; above right, the British Residency, Iririki Island, Vila; right, the inter-island cargo ship "Havanah" anchored at Tanna.
At left, the war memorial at Vila, with, in the back ground, Iririki Island, home of the British Residency.
